Default Test shot with new equipment

Just thought I'd get your opinions. You know me, always trying to improve my photography. I've found yet another avenue of photography to explore. I'm gonna have fun experimenting with these.

Trust me, if I could live off of traveling around shooting cars, I'd be all about it, haha.

looks like you picked up some additional external lighting. Looks good. I would be interested to see a few more shots, with maybe the lights extended up a bit higher to get more lighting on the entire car.

nice, IMO you should illuminate the whole car instead, it would contrast nicely with the dark background if you could still get it to show. Just my .02

I like it especially the accent around the front wheel.

Great picture! But yeah try and get the flash to show the top half of the car.

I still need to work and continue to improve my photography. I need more equipment! What equipment did you use? Full list? PM if necessary.

A little bit. Some saturation to the sky. But that's about it.
